Meanwhile, Signe's trooops had moved down the opposite side of the ridge without being noticed, and were approaching the front of the castle, still shrouded by trees. Everyone had moved around her, tense for their leader's command. "Marksman. Take out the officers and important leaders on my command." With this she turned to scott, their explosives tech. "Here's the flaregun and the flare. it's loaded and prepped. Fire it when the battle begins ". Everyone was waiting for the marksman to take their positions in the trees far from where the actual foce itself was residing. The explosive tech was distributing the crude bombs for use against personnel and the heavier models for the fortifications. Signe heard the snap of the crossbow strings, the falling of men, and the confused shouting of soldiers. "Charge!", she screamed, the flare was fired, and the battle began.

Athelstane moved throught the tall grasses with his troops, holding a grappling gun. His pistols had been silenced with canvas rags, just as everyone else's had. he gave the signal for halt. "Kell, Juniper. Take down those guards on the towers.". The troops removed their pistols and fired, the sound akin to the simultaneous falling of rocks. The guards dropped. "Move up and take over the battlements.". Kill everyone, and mantain absolute silence.".
